Just saw this on WorldCarFans.com:

On the outskirts of Steinegg Germany a Porsche 911 Cabriolet prototype went up in flames during a routine test drive.
The fire originated in the engine bay on this prototype which was specially developed for the Chinese market. According to fire chief commander Klaus Buchinger, "The car has burned like tinder." The car was completely burnt out within 15 minutes.
The exact cause of the fire is not known yet but the vehicle was brought to the Porsche center in Weissach for further examination.
